2010 SVCA Retreat 主題：《住在基督裡》(Abiding in Christ)
2010 SCVA Summer Retreat Theme: Abide in Christ (1)
(壹) 由主耶穌『葡萄樹與枝子』的比喻來看『住在基督裡』(約翰福音15:1-17)
– From the Lord’s
Parable of the Vine and the Branches (John 15:1-17)
（一）認識『在基督裡』的事實
Understanding
the truth of “In Christ”
v
客觀的事實－神那面的恩典：
Objective truth – Grace
from God’s side
『我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子…』(v5a)
“I am the Vine, you are the branches …” (John 15:5a)
『你們得在基督耶穌裏是本乎 神…』(林前1:30a)
“But of Him
[God] you are in Christ Jesus “(I Cor 1:30a)
（二）經歷『住在基督裡』的重要
Experience the
importance of “Abiding in Christ”
v
主觀的經歷－人這面的責任：
Subjective truth – the
responsibility of man
『常在【或作：住在】我裏面的，我也常在【或作：住在】他裏面』(v5a)
“He who abides [dwells] in Me, and I in
[dwell] him” (John 15:5a)
(A) 從反面來看
From
a passive standpoint
§ 枝子若不常在葡萄樹上，自己就不能結果子；你們若不常在我裏面，也是這樣。(v4b) As the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you,
unless you abide in
§
…離了我，你們就不能做甚麼。人若不常在我裏面，就像枝子丟在外面枯乾，人拾起來，扔在火裏燒了。(v5b-6) “For without Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5b) “If anyone does not
abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is
withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are
burned.” (John 15:6)
(B) 從正面來看
From
a positive standpoint
§ …常在我裏面的，我也常在他裏面，這人就多結果子…(v5a) “He who abides in
Me, and I in him, bears much fruit …” (John 15:5)
§
你們多結果子，我父就因此得榮耀，你們也就是我的門徒了。(v8)“By
this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit.” (v2,8,16a)
（三）多多結出『住在基督裡』的果子
Bearing much fruit
from “Abiding in Christ”
－主不只要我們結果子，且要我們多多結出能常存的果子(v2b, v8, 16a)
The Lord not only
want us to bear fruits, but bear much fruit that will endure (v2b,8,16a)
(1) 經常有得著主的話和禱告蒙答應的經歷 (v7, v16b)
Having
often the experiences of words from the Lord and answered prayers (v7,v16b)
(2)常住在主的愛中，且彼此切實相愛 (v9, 12-13, 17)
Abide
in the love of the Lord, and genuinely love one another (v9,12-13)
(3) 樂意遵守主道，且喜樂滿足 (v10-11)
Your
joy may be full (v10-11)
(4)成為主知心的朋友
(v14-15)
To
be the Lord’s friend who is after his heart (v14-15)
